Interesting tidbit from Debka showing how Arafat is relying upon EU charities for use in his terror campaign. The EU has temporarily suspended payments to Arafat but is still for them on principle. Chris Patten planned to resume them today but will probably wait a day or two now, lest his support of Palestinian terror appear too obvious: DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources reveal that Yasser Arafat’s inner circle of terrorist handlers have hit on a crafty way of slipping their ticking bombs - whether Hamas, Jihad or the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah - past Israeli security and military forces guarding Israeli cities and encircling Palestinian towns: European-funded welfare organizations operating in the Palestinian Authority are logistical jumping-off bases for Palestinian suicides. European governments fork out millions of tax pounds and euros a year to Palestinian welfare and medical organizations to help beleaguered Palestinians. They certainly do not intend the money to be used for the purpose devised by Arafat’s senior terrorist masterminds, led by Tawfiq Tirawi, General Intelligence head and undercover commander of the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and Mohamed Dahlan, Gaza strongman. However, all donations go directly to Yasser Arafat. It was his decision to pack the staffs of certain welfare and medical organizations with personnel under orders to press their ID and vehicles into the service of bringing suicide killers to their targets unchecked. After an initial investigation of the Pat Junction atrocity, Israeli authorities arrested the bomber’s brother, Iyad al-Ghoul, a nurse at the St. John’s Ophthalmic Hospital in Jerusalem, having discovered that this respected medical institution was one of a chain abused by Palestinian terror commanders blur the traces of some of their most brutal operations. This discovery caused deep embarrassment in Brussels. Last week, unconvinced by the evidence Israeli officers presented to prove Arafat’s direct involvement in terror, the EU decided in principle to restore its 15 million euro subsidy to the Palestinian Authority, namely Arafat.
